This side table is fine. The pros: you can adjust the feet so if it's partially on or off carpet, it won't wobble. It's a good size to place between seats. The pro that is also a con: the tray top lifts off to be used as a tray, so it just doesn't feel like a super stable or permanent option. Just depends what you're looking for! Also, the metal is loud. You may want to use coasters unless the clanking of putting drinks and various items in what sounds like a tin dish doesn't bother you. Ultimately, I plan to use this for plants in a bay window nook.
